<br />WS – Item 1 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: June 5, 2017 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Sarah Cotton, Finance Director <br /> <br />Re: 2016 Annual Audit Report <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Andy Hering of Redpath and Company will be in attendance at the meeting to provide an <br />overview of the City’s 2016 Annual Financial Report, present the auditor’s management <br />analysis and answer any questions you may have with regard to the financial condition of <br />the City. <br /> <br />The 2016 annual audit was undertaken earlier this year, with field work being completed <br />in May. The auditors review all financial transactions and the financial reports of the <br />City over the previous year for their fairness in presentation and for full disclosure of all <br />material aspects of the City’s financial condition. This review is conducted in accordance <br />with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial <br />audits contained in U.S. Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller <br />General of the United States. The auditors concluded that the City’s financial statements <br />for 2016 presented fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City as of <br />December 31, 2016. The auditors also issue their reports on the City’s legal compliance <br />with certain laws, regulations, contracts, etc., our internal control structure, and <br />management issues. <br /> <br />It should be noted that the City has received the Certificate of Achievement for <br />Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of <br />the United States and Canada for its 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The <br />city has received this award each year since 1995. We believe that the report issued for <br />2016 continues to uphold the high standards of reporting excellence that this prestigious <br />award represents. <br /> <br />The presentation at the work session will be comprehensive and is intended to provide the <br />opportunity for council members to ask any questions or make comments about the audit <br />report and the state of city finances. Mr. Hering will also give an abbreviated <br />presentation at the June 12, 2017, regular City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />None <br />
